Deputy rural and regional development minister Rubiah Wang explained that the finance ministry's reason for deferring the letters of acceptance was it wanted to stabilise the rural and regional development ministry’s finances.KUALA LUMPUR: The finance ministry will determine whether rural development projects whose letters of acceptance (SSTs) have been deferred can proceed, says deputy rural and regional development minister Rubiah Wang.
She said her ministry complied with the finance ministry’s decision to defer all SSTs yet to be issued, including those pending issuance and projects ready to be put out to tender.
“The finance ministry’s decision does not come with a timeline. There is no timeline and an SST is only valid for two to three months.
